I know, I know. But still. Poor Scorpion can't suit up in the most popular Spider-Man media and the best Spider-Man show.
It's only notable because this show used the Molten Man, who isn't exactly the most prominent Spider-Man villain. Scorpion is probably the biggest Lee/Ditko/Romita Spidey villain that the show never used outside of Kingpin (who couldn't be used because of rights issues).
Yeah same it really changes their dynamic a lot and do you think they could've reconciled?
I mean Black Cat is obviously much older than Peter in this version
I mean not as romantic partners but as allies. Cat is 19 according to Weisman as a side note.
Yeah I am pretty sure they could have. It wasn't anything she did.
This is hype! Super happy for Josh.
TSSM still has some of the funniest quips I've heard from Spidey. This one in particular lives in my brain rent-free, since 2008.

Excuse me. Can I come in this way, or do I have to break my own window?
Circumstantial situations. But if the stars align and a shot were to come in the future, it would help if they have every bit of data that people like watching the show.
You want nice things? Get to watching and help get the ranking up further.
Finished all 26 and feeling bummed that there wasn't a proper conclusion to everything.
Have the writers ever said anything on what they had in plan? A bit of closure on the whole thing would be nice.

There were plans for at least another season and maybe a couple movie-length features (in which they may or may not kill off Gwen).
Even without any word, recognizing how this show will have characters feature in before they become supervillains, we saw Cletus Kasady, Miles Warren, and Roderick Kingsley, and Mac Gargan was name dropped--not to mention Harry was essentially evil at the end.

The show really cemented how much of a garbage person Harry is.
It was really believable
that he was the GG during the Season 1 reveal.
I know right? They made common knowledge from the comics a surprising twist in the show which is very hard to do but they did it.
Maybe? She's a good friend in any case.
She definitely liked Mark in Season 2, though.
Yeah the one blight on the show IMHO is Pete was a complete asshole to Liz and the show never really acknowledges it.
Pete acknowledges it, in a way. Doesn't he tell Liz she deserves better? Or doesn't deserve how he treated her?
Yeah. They were going to get together in the end, which never came to be because of the cancellation.
MJ just had commitment issues. Presumably she has the same backstory as her comics counterpart so that informed a lot of her decisions. She was also Gwen's friend, and clearly stood aside so Peter x Gwen could happen.
(MJ also knew Peter was Spider-Man. She's just a lot more subtle about it than Captain Stacy.)
See that's kind of lip-service because by that point he's saying that with the expectation that Gwen is also planning to dump Harry so the two can be together. The show really doesn't dwell on Pete being a bad boyfriend.
Peter's kind of an asshole. I hate how this aspect tends to get dropped in other Spider-Man adaptations.
I mean yeah. Imagine how much that would hurt Liz, seeing her boyfriend immediately go with the girl she was afraid would steal him RIGHT after she lost her brother to prison. He was a complete dick here.
Because Flash is more than one-dimensional, and is not actually a complete asshole.
Character development? Flash actually becomes a decent guy by the end of the run, and as much as he rips on Peter he genuinely feels bad that his Aunt is near-death, and he can see how much of a boneheaded prick he's being by lashing out at everyone who offers him condolences. That specific scene is Flash saying "for a guy who's already a social pariah for being a geek, do you really want to go down this road of being a violent bitter incel?"
Because this extends passed Peter being an annoying nerd for him to pick on. His aunt is in the hospital, he's afraid of being crushed by the debt and pressure at school, and he's lashing out at people worried sick for him.
When the chips are down, Flash is entirely capable of actually giving a fuck.
But whose fault is it that Peter is a pariah? and tbh Flash has done worse by actually physically assaulting him and stealing his things
